[quote]Why are you so threatened by my so-called "bashing the game?" Someone can't have a critique or an opinion of the game that isn't shared by you?[/quote]Are you unable to read your own thread title? How about "you're a crappy player" as my response instead, that wouldn't be very nice, would it? No, it wouldn't. I agree that PJIs need some work, and just because they aren't being reverted to their overpowered beta state doesn't mean they wont get changed. Even without superweapons

Awesome, we appreciate it (well, most of us do, anyways).

[quote]Perhaps you can provide a strategy for the man's problem.[/quote]He's willing to bash the entire game because he's unwilling to figure out how to deal with the issue despite there being more than enough info for it (in a sticky no less). Emergency Shelters and some defenders, or hangers+turrets if you don't want to leave ships there will handle most. I've seen 20 siege frigates stopped from killing a world by 3 cruisers, 5 frigates, and a hanger. They retreated with 7 frigates left, the w

I've never had a problem with (especially the AIs) siege frigate spam. So, yeah.

Reply to Team maps in the Forge editor, how to start together?? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Go into the forge editor, players, and set the team index (0-9) so the players are on the same teams in the index.

Reply to How to change pop limit in SP? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

We're waiting for the extraction tools (or the non-binary files to be released, which I think Blair said he was putting up later tonight), there'll probably be population altering mods within a few hours of their release.

Retail and downloaded versions are the same.

Reply to Simple Question: Scouts in Strategy Sins Forums

They're quick and later on can bypass inhibitors, if you don't have bombers present to chase it, don't even bother. Advent can see your stuff anyways once they get a Revelation.

Reply to Map 'Gateway' illustrates perfectly why Phase Inhibiting is broken in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Unless there's going to be a "don't go below 100 AM" threshold button, and a complete overhaul of drain-based abilities and upgrades, then the antimatter idea is really bad.

In 1.01, it capped at 2000. In 1.02, it was reduced to 15%, but will go to 2300.

Reply to Increase Fleet cap in larger maps! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

A thought: Make the max fleet cap 100 per planet, with a minimum of 2k. Scale the price of research with the amount added. I.e. a 40 world game would have a max cap of 4k supply, and fleet cap increase techs would cost roughly twice as much (upkeep scales naturally, so no adjustment needed there). The number per planet could be up for adjustment.

Reply to A hints how to go vs Advent in Strategy Sins Forums

I'd like to re-emphasize the use of the Antarok when playing Vasari against Advent. Advent really rely upon the synergy between ships, and Phase Out can really screw with that synergy.

Reply to Intercepting fleets in Strategy Sins Forums

Phase Jump Inhibitors can do a fair number to slow them down long enough for a fleet to deal with them, and it wouldn't hurt to have them at more than just frontline planets. Outside of your own territory though, the best you can do is just start killing off planets until they come and fight.

Reply to No Pirates mod? in Sins Modding Sins Forums

There are several maps without pirates, and in 1.02 they added No Pirates versions of random maps. Just use the pirates to get free XP for your capitals, and mid-late game they aren't that hard to just kill off entirely.

Fighters also do a fair amount of damage to LRMs and supposedly Siege Frigates as well (anything with Light Armor).

There's a long range jumps tech that lets you go between stars, simply order a ship to the other star once you have the tech.

Reply to Returning Armada: The end all of team games? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

It's strong, but all the Tier 8 techs can be pretty brutal. It could maybe do with toning, but just keep in mind the strength of things like Insurgency as well.

Set map to large or huge with 9 AI, and it'll take you longer than just about any other game's campaign. ;)

Reply to Phase Jump Inhibitors... Beta style! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]Come on. Making a phase jump inhibitor stop you from phase jumping past it deeper into a system in no way creates an "invincible fortress world" - that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.[/quote]It doesn't innately create such a fortress world, no, but it makes them doable. You can just surround the PJI in turrets and hangers and you never have to worry about any other world beyond that one getting hurt so long as that giant ball of defenses still stands.

Reply to Suggestion -- Gravity Well Slingshot in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

A cool idea, but it does seem to kind of step on the Phase Gate's toes a bit.
